This is not RuPaul's Best Friend Race.
I feel very attacked!
If you don't have star quality, get the fuck outta here.
Oh, my God.
RuPaul: This is Untucked, backstage at the competition
to become America's next drag superstar.
Girl, if you're not watching Untucked,
you're only getting half the story.
Today I'm walking a little bit slower.
I kinda damaged my ankle during the acting challenge.
I did not realize how severe it was
until I went home.
Like, this isn't gradually healing.
Baby, I am in pain, Miss Thing.
I didn't expect to go out like--
I didn't expect to go out at all,
but I definitely didn't expect to go out like this, you know.
I went to urgent care and she said,
"You shouldn't be on your feet for long periods of time
for six to eight weeks,"
which basically meant
I can't participate in challenges,
I can't walk the runway.
So that news was not fun to hear.
It's weird packing my stuff away,
'cause, girl, these bitches
supposed to be leaving before me, honey.
I ain't supposed to be taking nothing away right now.
This is supposed to be me leaving on the last day
after I done wore all this stuff
and it smell a little musty.
Imma just sit.
Oh.
I read on the back of this chocolate,
and it said if it's gold, it's gonna heal my ankle, girl,
and they gonna put me right back in.
So let's see. No, I'm kidding.
We gonna see what my fate is, girl.
Although I didn't think
I was gonna ever need this moment.
I'm pretty good at the lip syncing thing.
Ooh, girl.
It's just a chocolate bar.
But I ain't sad, girl,
'cause I wasn't gonna need it in the first place.
Honey, them ho's wasn't about to send me home.
I got something up my sleeve,
or up my leg, my girl.
You see how that happens.
Gonna put this in my bag and take this home.
Queen limpin'.
Little limpin' Linda, honey, limpin' Linda, girl.
I do not like the fact
that this is the way I'm going out of the competition.
Leaving my friendships behind, like Willow and Kerri,
that's the hard part.
But, baby, this ain't the end, honey.
You come back stronger and better than ever always.
Ouch!
My ankle.
[laughs]

Director: That's a break on the main stage.
All cameras re-po.
RuPaul: Ladies, I've made some decisions.
Kerri Colby.
DeJa Skye.
Maddy Morphosis.
Willow Pill.
Daya Betty.
You are all safe.
You may leave the stage.
My stomach's in knots.
I don't really know what I did bad on,
but I also don't know what I did good on.
I need the critiques.
That is what's driving my crazy.
I'm really kind of frustrated here,
because I keep ending up safe.
I came here to prove
that I am a fucking fierce superstar of drag.
It's time for me to remind people of that.
I feel like I should be in the top.
Our group worked amazing together,
and I feel great and proud of the girls in our team.
-Cameras up. -Copy that. Here we go.
Queens walking.
Let me make sure I fit, child.
Come on, Kerri, let's get through here, girl.
Whew.
It's the house that Willow built.
We live to see another day.
Are you guys in line at the bar?
-Honey. -Are you guys in line?
You shut your mouth.
Ooh! In the corner, baby.
We made it. We safe.
We live to see another day.
So how are we feeling, y'all? How we feeling?
I'm a little bit, like, eh,
because I really did wanna be in the top.
You definitely got ugly this week, so great job.
Yeah, I was trying to be downright hideous, child.
Whenever you pulled out, like, this green dress,
I was, like, she's gonna be in the bottom.
It was just a plain green dress with a couple of flowers.
I was, like, oh, she's in trouble.
But then when you put it all together
with all the other stuff as well,
it's, like, one of my favorite runways tonight.
-Oh, thank you. -Yeah.
I did do something different,
but you can feel, like, you're giving what you have.
You can feel fucking crazy,
and when these cameras pick it up
and it plays back, it goes down 20%.
So you really have to, like, kind of squirt a little bit
when you out there.
Ooh!
I will say with Willow,
I really thought you were gonna be in the top.
I think with your runway tonight,
like the house and everything, it's so out of the box.
I don't agree with you being just safe.
They're just tired of me being in the top all the time.
Aah!
I am so happy.
I was a little worried, because I feel
that the rest of our team is in the bottom.
Really?
And I was afraid that if we were judged as groups,
that I would be in the bottom with them.
I'm very pleasantly surprised that they're doing individual.
That way, no one's coasting,
no one's kind of just getting lucky.
But they all were really good.
This is, like, one of my favorite looks
I've ever, like, done.
So I was so excited about it.
I really felt like this might be my week.
Yeah. I don't know if you're getting the credit you deserve.
Agreed.
I know you run the fucking show.
You are doing fantastic at being the leader of your groups.
Yeah.
For my group, I felt like I was a leader,
and, like, it's kind of hard, because I don't know
where the other girls in my group were placed.
I don't know if Bosco's read.
Did you know that some drag queens
have to get ready in less than seven hours?
I don't know if either of them are in the top.
However, I felt like I did really strong,
and I'm fine being safe, but I need that critique.
What can I do better to place me?
You've been safe this whole time, huh?
I thought I was really strong.
I'm not complaining about being here,
because I'm not that girl. I'm not Jasmine.
Aah!
But it's true. It's like I felt like I did really good.
I did, too. I'll be completely honest.
That's okay.
I think that I'm the strongest in my group,
and we are getting to that point in the competition
where the people that are constantly safe
are being recognized for all the wrong reasons.
That is what is driving me a little loopy.
Is there anyone that you're surprised isn't here?
Oh, so fuck my drag.
Y'all ain't gonna ask me about my shit.
Okay, great.
-DeJa, how do you feel today? -Wow.
How do you feel about your experience?
No, it's fine.
Whatever. It's fine, it's fine.
I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna cry.
-My last name is Kennedie. -[laughs]
-Well, hello. -Hey, girls!
Come over here, y'all.
Come get a seat, queens.
-Welcome, ladies. -Hi!
Shall we cheers to the returning queens?
Thank you.
And y'all look good!
Clink, clink, clink, clink, clink.
Welcome back, bitches.
What do you think of the videos?
It was just hard to read.
Well, maybe you all just aren't funny.
[laughs]
They were surprisingly good.
-Surprisingly? -No, no, no.
It's not that I thought-- I mean, maybe.
I think the camera was very kind to a lot of people.
I really thought y'all were going home, honestly.
[laughs]
How did you guys think about, like, as groups?
Well, I did good.
Okay, great.
The rest of y'all, you filled in the blanks very nice.
Aah, filler queens!
You were a solid middle of the road safe.
I'm comfortable with that.
You know, comfortable middle of the road is where I wanna be.
An improvement over your season.
[gasps] Maddy!
She has been shading me this whole time.
Well, here's the thing.
I don't think you guys know this.
He's actually fully straight.
I just learned, like, five minutes ago.
No, bitch, I'm a lesbian.
[all laugh] Do you know what?
You are top-shelf drag now.
You are all top-shelf drag.
And when you leave here, you're gonna have haters.
-Because that's what they do. -Oh, absolutely.
Yeah, I can't wait.
But, you know, you just remind them.
What show were you on?
Okurr?
And you're here, and no one can ever take that away from you.
Exactly.
And you have all of us now.
We're your family now.
Each of you guys have been so endearing
and had nothing but kind words to say.
And I can say the same to all y'all, too.
I'll tell you that, like,
I have not met any girl from Drag Race
who doesn't have my back.
Well, maybe one.
Okay, we need names, darling.
Call 'em out.
Tell us more about Jaymes.
[all laugh]
RuPaul: Thank you, ladies. I think we've heard enough.
While you untuck in the werkroom,
the judges and I will deliberate.
Oh, me, oh, my.
Hello, I'm home!
-Hi! -Hi!
I'm ready for my cock and my tail.
Aah! Look out!
Go sit that flower-padded ass down, bitch.
-Yes. -Hurry up and sit down!
What's the tea, sis?
I know I'm in the bottom three.
I don't know, like, where I'm landing,
if I'm lip syncing or not.
Ava Max said she really, really loved my outfit.
She said she'd wear this while performing,
which, like, made me feel really good.
Huh.
They say basically
what you guys have been saying to me, essentially--
That you talk too much?
Yes, yeah, I think Michelle said that.
So then you need to fix it.
Like, try to show yourself in a different light.
A good one.
Uh-oh.
-Ooh. -Orion.
-What'd they say? -I'm in the bottom.
Bottom three or bottom two?
-Bottom two, I think. -Oh, really?
I kind of feel like the way they edited it, though,
like, they put all of my scenes, like, at the beginning.
Didn't you guys do a storyboard?
Yeah, but, like--
And it was supposed to be spread out?
I think, like, the way everything was structured,
like, the scenes were where they were supposed to be.
Yeah, I mean, that's the point of the storyboards.
I don't know if that's what I would blame it on.
-I don't know. -I'm just saying.
Like, that's why we have a storyboard,
is so we have something to follow.
Yeah.
What did they think of your look, though?
They liked it, and they're, like, it's not Spring, though.
And I'm like, bitch, where?
Do you think this gives Spring?
Yes, I do.
Okay.
Live for your fantasy, you know what I mean?
Angie, what'd they say about you?
All of my critiques were really, really good.
Well, you out of everyone
have been in the top this entire competition.
We want you to go home.
Oh!
[laughs] I'm just kidding, I'm just kidding.
Ha ha ha!
Camden, what did they say about you, sis?
Well, I think I'm in the top.
[cheering]
Seriously, it feels so crazy to even just say that.
That you're a top?
No one would believe you.
I know, no one believes it.
Miss Bosco, what about you, sis?
They really liked me.
[cheering]
I'm kind of like on cloud nine.
Like, this feels really, really neat.
Whoa, on cloud nine.
I know. I'm so fucking funny.
Hilarious!
So from what you guys were saying, it seems very similar.
What about a first double win?
-Ooh! -Ooh!
Can I, like, interject?
Because, like, I am so happy
my sisters in my group are in the top.
I just wanna know what I need to do better.
And I'm not gonna pull a Jasmine and cry about it.
Yeah!
Daya Betty, she's been safe,
and she's not comfortable with that.
But instead of putting more work into what she's doing,
she looks like what she's doing is screaming for attention.
Seriously, and I'm not just being, you know, whatever--
-A bitch. -Oh.
I just wanna know what the fuck I need to do more.
You are doing very over-the-top characters.
It's like a characterization,
like, a caricature of, like, whatever you're doing.
Like, I get that, and I know, but it's fucking drag!
Jorgeous, what about you, sissy?
They did say that my performance was, um, kind of flat.
I feel like I'm just not bringing it,
like, enough in the challenges,
and it just makes me feel disappointed in myself.
Jorgeous, if you have to lip sync, bitch, you know--
you know that is where you fucking shine.
Bitch, you gonna turn it the fuck out, yes, ma'am.
Yes, and I'm just--I'm ready.
Like, I am not shocked that I'm in the bottom,
but I think Jasmine is definitely safe.
You think so?
Yes.
But, like, you never know, though,
so, like, I feel like it's me and you
interchanging in the part.
Like, all tea, baby, I love you,
but they read you more on your acting and on your look
-compared to me and Jorgeous. -Yeah.
You guys, I know that we got letters from Kornbread.
-Yes. -Miss Bread.
Can we do this?
Can everybody just raise their drink for me?
-Pour one out. -Kornbread!
-Kornbread!
I love you, Bread!
-Dr. Bread. -we love you, baby.
I was really touched by my note. It meant a lot.
She said, "Fuck you," huh?
She was, like, the wake-up call that I needed.
Do you understand where she was coming from--
-Absolutely. -Do you, though?
No, I do, seriously.
Because I know at first you were very much just, like,
in one ear and out the other.
But did you absorb it?
Like, I--like, I--
You better be honest, bitch. I'll punch you in your face.
No, I know. I think I was absorbing it in the challenge.
Didn't fully get it.
When they announced that she left,
I think right then and there
was the moment when I was like, oh, my God.
So it took that moment for you to fully realize.
-Yeah, to fully realize. -Okay.
I'm very thankful that she said that.
I mean, apply it,
and it's only gonna make the people around you
love you even more.
Yeah.
It's hard for me,
because Kornbread was, like, a rock for me.
We got close very, very quickly
because we both have a lot of darkness in our past,
and it's something
that sometimes feels impossible to deal with.
I just--I miss her so much, and it hurt me yesterday.
That was my lowest moment in this competition so far
was when we realized she was gone,
and I was like, I feel fucked.
Right.
If there's anything, like, I knew about Kornbread,
it was don't fuck with Willow.
-Don't fuck Willow. -That's my baby!
She definitely had, like, this big attachment towards you.
Yeah, and we really thought
it was gonna be her and me to the end,
and now I'm, like, it's just gonna be me.
[all laugh]
Y'all gonna have me tear up again on this.
-Good. -Do it.
Girl, I don't know if I can get through this.
Don't be scared of emotions.
When I first got the call to come here,
I did feel a little uncomfortable
because it can take me a while to open up.
And when I walked in and I saw her...
I just instantly felt home, and I felt seen.
In L.A., Kornbread and I, we know each other
forwards, backwards, inside out, and into heaven.
So we really have, like, a kindred sister spirit.
She's there to... Uh, Jesus.
She spent so much energy.
Sometimes she didn't even have it to give,
and she still gave it to all of us.
-Mm-hmm. -It really does kinda hit
when you think about the absence of her.
And it really felt like a lifeline was gone,
because I felt so comfortable.
I felt like I had such a safe place.
-Yeah. -She saw things in some of us
that I feel like many of us didn't see in ourselves.
-Yeah. -For sure.
And now it's our time to step into what she knew we had,
and to really do her that honor.
Whew.
Ladies, five minutes.
Five minutes to main stage.
-Okay! -Whoo!
-One more time for Kornbread! -For Miss Bread.
Is this that vulnerability y'all wanting?
Mickey Mouse crying on a couch, bitch.
Come on, bitch.
It's way too early for me to go home.
I'm just so angry, and I'm ready to fight.
I really need to get out of my head
and stop doubting myself.
This is my dream, and I need to stay here
till the bitter end.
So let's get lit, let's get rowdy, bitch.
Let's fucking battle it out.
[as if from afar] Jorgeous?
Jorgeous? Sister?
Whatever happens, you guys know that I love you.
Oh, yes.
And this does not define who you are,
no matter the outcome.
And know that you guys are here for a reason,
and you guys aren't going anywhere.
Okay? So turn it out and show the world what you can do.
And I told her, if we're in the bottom, don't hold back.
-Don't hold back. -Same two forever.
-Uh-huh. -Period.
All right, ladies, time for the main stage. Follow me.
Oh, no. Aah!
Oh, oh, we leaving.
Come on, you guys.
Huh? Oh, leave the werkroom.
Oh, we're leaving already. Ugh.
RuPaul: Welcome back, ladies.
I've made some decisions.
Orion Story.
Jorgeous.
The time has come
for you to lip sync
for your life!
Orion, sashay away.
Y'all got it the first time.
[all laugh]
There's so many emotions
going through my head right now.
I'm just feeling so disappointed in myself.
But I'm so proud of everything that I did while I was here.
[sighs]
Oh, I forgot about the notes.
"Dear Orion, I'm excited to see where this journey takes you,
"and ecstatic to call you a sister.
There's always a couch for you to sleep on in Seattle. Bosco."
Gonna make me cry.
Oh, Jorgeous.
"I am so, so, so sorry.
"Out of everybody,
"I really did not want to be in the bottom with.
"Not gonna lie, I have a little crush on you
"from the moment I met you.
You better keep in contact with me. Jorgeous."
They're gonna make me cry.
I'm not trying to cry right now.
Oh, my gosh.
I love them all so much.
I'm glad I got to show more of myself.
I'm not the same person that I was when I came in,
and I'm like, I'm grateful for that, you know.
I feel like if anything,
I'm leaving with, like, a newfound sense of self.
I feel so much more confident now.
I'm not gonna sit here and mope
that I didn't take the crown home,
but I'm so proud,
and I know that everyone back home
is gonna be proud of me.
Oh.
I'm gonna miss this room so much.
Oh.
I don't wanna leave.
I'm gonna hide in the back. They won't find me.
This experience has changed my life,
so I'm just excited for the future.
Ooh.
Hasta la vista.
Bye.
